Am relatively new to this wifi stuff. Just bought a laptop with built in

Both signals were strong.
Any ideas on why this would be?

Thanks.

The one that does not work probably has MAC address filtering turned
on so it won't connect to anything but the addresses on it's list.

There's a workaround to this - it's a false security - but that is
what's keeping you out.
